Klopp could look to replace the Belgian striker, despite being behind Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Danny Ings and even playmaker Roberto Firmino all considered ahead of him in the battle for the spearhead role.

New attacking signing Sadio Mane also suffered an injury in a training session for the club on Wednesday.

The Reds have already added six players to their squad this summer, including the attacking additions of Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum.

The Anfield-club also didn’t look short on goals on the opening day, as they battled to a 4-3 victory against Arsenal.
